RetroMike the game hopper

Originally for personal use, I've decided to make it public. This mod has a new mechanic and several items so it's still being balanced. Feedback is welcome.

Please do not re-upload or alter this mod.



One night Mike fell into a deep sleep and heard a distant voice calling out to him in his dream. Following the voice he found himself climbing a long staircase leading up to a mysterious door. Opening the door, his eyes fell upon a familiar sight, a world from one of his favorite games. From that night on, Mike could enter the worlds of video games while he dreamed. Furthermore he could manipulate the world around him, summoning items and power ups from other games at will.

This power has its limits however, the foreign items are unstable and want to return to the world they were pulled from. Mike must use his Dream power to keep the items tethered to him. If he over taxes his Dream power the item being used slips back to its world of origin.

Being a fan of retro games, most items are pulled from the titles of his youth.

Mike doesn't have a W name because he doesn't belong to this world.




"Nice, another game to explore."

Dream Energy:

Mike uses this energy to draw items from other worlds. Any item attempting to consume more Dream than is available will return to its own world (Breaks). It acts as durability,fuel and crafting component for summoned items.

Dream energy has a passive regeneration rate of 20 per minute, but some items can increase or decrease this number.

For example.
Passive + Flatcap = 30 per min
Passive + Trainer bag = 10 per min
Passive + Trainer bag + Flatcap = 20 per min
